Asymmetry

Asymmetry

The word SACRED has been cut from an image of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). CMB is electromagnetic radiation remaining from the beginnings of the universe in Big Bang cosmology. The image rests on the floor with remnants from the word’s removal as if they have fallen off of the wall. Letters spelling out SCARED remain on the wall at eye level. The title Asymmetry refers to the slight discrepancy between the words SACRED and SCARED and the asymmetrical distribution illustrated in the CMB resulting in the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies.
